Charlotte Flair Turns Heel, Debuts New Attitude On WWE Raw After WrestleMania
A literal mic drop heralded the end of Charlotte Flair's absence from WWE TV last night.
Charlotte Flair ended her short absence from WWE television on last night's Raw after WrestleMania 37, turning heel after a mic drop promo and beatdown of Asuka and Raw Women's Champion Rhea Ripley.
Flair's promo preceded a 'Mania 37 rematch between Asuka and Ripley. Going all-in on self-entitlement, Charlotte said it wasn't her fault she had missed out on the Show of Shows, as Lacey Evans had become pregnant and Asuka had ignored her Women's Title challenge.
She then promised to stop being humble, saying that she doesn't take opportunities from the fans' favourite wrestlers because she is the opportunity. In her words, it's time to stop apologising for being the best.
Asuka vs. Ripley II ended in a non-finish. Flair ran out to deck both women, owning the night as she stood over their broken bodies.
Flair disappeared from television after testing positive for COVID-19 last month. This meant her missing the card, as Ripley took her place against Asuka, following on from the cancelled Evans match that was rumoured prior to Lacey's pregnancy.
WWE's next pay-per-view, WrestleMania Backlash, goes down on 16 May. Ripley's opponent is yet to be determined.
